Oliver Cromwell was born in Huntingdon on April 25th, 1599. To celebrate the 400th anniversary of Cromwell's birth, Huntingdon turned the clock back for the day, with a Street Market, sponsored by Huntingdonshire District Council and The Hunts Post. An excellent day was had by all. Please view my Cromwell pages for further information and photographs.
